Symzonia: Voyage of Discovery
·
Captain Adam Seaborn
114
The
Council
deliberated
upon
the
measures
recommended
by
Fultria,
and
upon
the
miserable
situation
of
the
country.
They
had
no
support
but
their
confidence
in
the
Sovereign
Ruler
of
the
world,
and
no
hope
of
relief
but
from
the
favour
of
his
Providence.
They
feared
that
a
majority
of
the
people
had
now
become
so
degenerate
in
their
minds,
and
so
exasperated
by
their
circumstances,
that
they
would
be
eager
to
second
the
views
of
Fultria,
and
engage
in
the
work
of
destruction.
But,
for
themselves,
with
a
few
exceptions,
they
remained
steadfast
in
their
virtuous
principles
and
feelings,
and
could
by
no
means
consent
to
do
what
every
dictate
of
reason
and
religion
forbade.
They
were
accountable
for
their
own
acts,
not
for
the
acts
of
others,
or
their
consequences.
They
knew
that
to
do
right,
and
that
alone,
was
safe.
If
they
acted,
that
must
be
their
rule.
The
end
could
not
justify
the
means.
At
last
it
was
thought
that
the
exhibition
of
this
terrible
machine,
with
all
its
engines
in
operation,
in
sight
of
the
Belzubians
and
their
adherents,
would
impress
them
with
such
dread
and
horror,
as
to
drive
them
immediately
from
the
country,
and
effectually
deter
them
from
ever
returning.
This
expedient
was
therefore
tried,
and
it
was
completely
successful.
The
enemy
fled
with
as
much
precipitancy
and
haste
as
did
the
Midianites
at
the
sight
of
the
lamps
and
the
noise
of
the
broken
pitchers
of
Gideon.
The
land
was
presently
cleared
of
the
Belzubians
and
their
apostate
followers;
all
intercourse
with
their
country
was
prohibited;
and
since
that
time
war
had
not
been
known.
